Gay is a sexual orientation, not a morality.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

No warning required: "social conservatives" (aka religious fundamentalists of all religions) have been around at least since the medieval witch hunts, the Battle of Badr, the War over the Golden Calf. They've always been dangerous, self-righteous, regressive, oppressive, sadistic, violent.

Qatari govt aided jihadi terrorists in 9/11 and harboured Hamas after Oct 7 massacre.
Qatar isn't part of NATO.
A Qatari air force on American soil isn't just inviting disaster, but makes a mockery of all American victims of terrorism.
Who's next... Russia? North Korea?

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Believing that Razin' Caine will ever "do the right thing" seems woefully delusional, considering the crimes already committed by the US military under his command

Janelle @janelleerickson.bsky.social · 8d

America’s senior military officers, including the Chair of the Jt Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine, must approach Trump now and make clear to him that they will not obey illegal orders to act against American citizens or disrupt the American political process

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Blue States in the US now suffer "taxation without representation".

And those without a State Defence Force like Illinois need to quickly implement one to block the Flatulent Fuehrer's Gestapo incursions and protect their citizens.
